E11+ Buckinghamshire Free Interactive Maths, Verbal Reasoning, Week 4

11+ Buckinghamshire Free Interactive Maths, Verbal Reasoning, Week 4

Welcome to Week 4 of my blog aimed at the 11+ in Buckinghamshire. This week, we
look at Missing Letters – a type of Verbal Reasoning – and
I give you access to exclusive Missing Letters material. We will also
look at Number Lines in Maths. I have checked all clips so that you know
they are right for the 11+.

This blog will look better if you open it in Chrome.

Maths

Number Lines

Number lines can go up or down by whole numbers like the one pictured above.

Here’s a clip.

If you struggle to understand negative numbers, think about the way numbers
work on a thermometer, and how the temperature can go from zero to -1, -2 etc.

Number Lines and Decimals

Number lines can deal in smaller units than whole numbers; number lines
can go in-between 1 and 2; think of the millimetres in-between each centimetre
on a ruler.

Click on the Zoomable Numberline,
shift-click to zoom out. Click at left or right to scroll.

More videos and practice on numberlines.

The screen shot below is the first of seven video tutorials. Do all sections
in the left hand column. When the first section finishes it will go back
to the home page, so scroll down to the next session, and the next until
you have done all 7.

Prime numbers only have 2 factors, 1 and itself. Primes only come up in
the 1 times table. Learn these primes for next week: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11

Verbal Reasoning

Find the Missing Letter that ends one word and starts the second word of each pair. One letter
must work for both pairs.

Example:

min (?) ag sea (?) hem Missing Letter is t

min (t) ag sea (t) hem

to (?) es ke (?) acht

win (?) oe fin (?) eer

ma (?) art lim (?) each

clas (?) eat bu (?) and

hom (?) ast wak (?) arly

was (?) ere wes (?) orn

cloc (?) ey win (?) ind

bes (?) hem nes (?) ime

lam (?) ink si (?) ouch

lim (?) ow com (?) ring

mic (?) nd us (?) gg

fil (?) ice wil (?) end

TIP: If you get a bit stuck, go through the alphabet, IN ORDER, and try
each letter on the first word, then the second, then the third, then the
fourth. If it works for all four, you’ve got the answer! (If you
still don’t know your alphabet all the way through, look at the
graphic in week 1 and learn it.)
